Selling Scrap Carbide and Sludge
Selling Scrap Carbide and Sludge
Scrap carbide on cart
Now tungsten is that all-time high so tungsten carbide scrap is definitely worth recycling. I just wrote a check today to a machine shop for $783 worth of scrap at nine dollars a pound.
We looked at buying sludge a couple years ago and at that time it just wasn’t worth the trouble of trying to sell it. Now we just bought what we called 500 pounds of sludge at two dollars a pound.
We buy it for the tungsten which is at a record high.
Example from a saw shop
Sludge:
scrap carbide in USPS boxes for cheap shipping
7 – 5 gallon Buckets on a pallet weighed 517 lbs Gross
This was 473 lbs Net Wet Material
24 lbs Oil & Moisture Removed ( 5%)
This left 449 lbs Net Dry Material
The net, dry material was 46 % Tungsten
This left 207 lbs Net Dry Tungsten
The drier the better for everyone.
We are happy to buy any amount you have. You can ship it in a flat rate USPS box. You can ship about $300-$400 worth of scrap for $10.95 in a flat rate box.
Other than that, all we need is a name to put on the check.
